A very informational book that is sure to interest any lover of the corvid family tree. I appreciated the inclusion of biological details of crows, as well as cultural, though the book is more focused on the later. It was interesting to see the role the crow had in the cultural consciousness of many societies and to see where they overlapped. It's very handy to have all those viewpoints together in a neat, easily digestible volume that isn't too much bogged down by facts and data that could very well be outdated in due time. This book is more concerned with telling crows' history and the impact they have made on our perceptions of them. Their relation to myths and culture have evolved so much over time, and it was neat to see that process laid out so neatly and understandably. It's not a groundbreaking read, you could probably breeze past it in a sitting or two, but I very much enjoyed learning about the fascination and intrigue we invest into these birds.
